I’m a long time listener.
I actually don’t mind Bobby especially once they got their groove. But I don’t listen when jays gone😬 sorry Bob!
I really don’t feel like listening to Rich’s ep, but what happened, he just rambled about his pro Israel bullshit? So bad he thought he needed to come apologize?
Can anyone fill me in?
Hello all,
I’ve got a really solid state cooking job interview lined up and I’m stressing a bit about how to handle one of my last kitchen jobs on the exam/background stuff.
The kitchen was honestly toxic. The owner constantly talked down to the staff, everything felt Jerry rigged and unsafe, and on top of that I ended up with pretty bad arm/nerve pain from working there. I tried pushing through it, but eventually my arm got so bad I called before service and quit on the spot. He offered me a couple weeks off to recover, but I declined because I knew my arm needed more than that and I already wanted out of that environment.
Later I filed a workers comp claim because my medical coverage had been canceled and I couldn’t get treatment otherwise.
Part of what bothers me is the pay situation too. I was there 7 months, never got a raise, then out of nowhere the owner hired his buddy at $10 more an hour and suddenly the guy was bossing me around on the line. Tips were terrible too, slammed nonstop and walking with like $15-$25 some nights.
I honestly need to use this place as a reference because it’s only one of two restaurants I’ve worked at, and it was the only kitchen where I was literally the sole line cook. For basically 7 months there was nobody else there to even cover me!
My concern is whether I should even list this place, because I’m worried the owner could be vindictive since I quit suddenly, and filed a claim. I wasn’t trying to screw anyone over, my arm genuinely was wrecked and I knew I couldn’t keep doing it.
What would you guys do in this situation? Should I just not put their phone number down?
